only) and the throat plate is fitted in the roof of the appliance. The
location and positioning of the throat plate is shown in Fig. 6.

Check that the front fence is fitted correctly and that the door closes
properly.

COMMISSIONING

On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for
the fire cement and mortar to dry out before lighting the fire. Make
a layer of ash or sand on the base of the stove before lighting. Check
to ensure that smoke and fumes are taken from the appliance up
the chimney and emitted safely. Also check all joints and seals. On
completion of the installation and commissioning please leave the
operating instructions with the customer and advise them on the use
of the appliance.

Flue draught can be checked by removing the bolt that is located
to the right of the rear flue exit behind the rear panel (Skye 5) or
removing the bolt underneath the front left hand side (Skye 7)

To fit the optional rear heat shield, loosen the button head allen
screws and slide the heat shield on so that the slots on the back of
the heat shield fit over the screws. (fig. 12)
